2. Yes. I would have responded sooner, but couldn't get the page

to load to do so. Off and on all day it's been weird.

Weird.

Thanks, though. I'll check profiles of responders to this post and see if it's region specific.

It seems like the pages are continuing to try to load even after they finally load.

got hers. #1 is over on the coast at Brookings. Don't know yet if she got hers. :shrug: I'll be here on Rigel-3 through the election -- my absentee didn't arrive on the shuttle today, either. And, yes....DU is abominably slow tonight. I might as well be in another galaxy. Slow as frost bit mole asses.

I frequently get "connection lost" and other error messages or cannot tell if a post has actually been posted or not.

15. Yeah, slo-o-ow for me, too...it's probably either heavy traffic or

a denial of service attempt on the server. Somebody just programs their computer(s), or a network of zombie computers to ping hell out of the server in an attempt to bring it down.

Some are reporting okay.

Mine is okay (as of this minute) but was slow then okay then slow now okay.

28. It could be a problem with load balancing the servers...

Depending which server you are routed to it will either work or not. This assumes they use load balancing here.

38. Best answer so far appears to be #28, Kirby

load balancing on the servers.

Not sure if that's it and willing to hear otherwise.

NY,Roadrunner, but every once in a while I will get a 'connection lost' and often at the bottom of the page it will say 'done but with errors'. All other sites are fine.
